What happens if we don’t fund the front lines?

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Ohio’s state and local governments are experiencing a huge budget crunch. We have two choices: either the federal government can help by funding the front lines or our communities will suffer grave consequences. What kinds of consequences? Let’s talk trash.

Trash pickup is a key public service. Cut backs mean less collection — and more garbage and rats in our neighborhoods. Definitely not good for public health and the quality of life in Ohio’s cities and towns.

We can avoid making these impossible choices if we act now.

Call or write to Congress today and demand they fund the front lines and help state and local governments avoid devastating cuts to services.
